The cold wind on a snowy night is like a knife.

Dingwu braved the cold wind, led hundreds of elite horsemen, and was speeding all the way to the south at this time, Wuping Mansion City had been left far behind Dingwu, and the sound of the fighting of the earth shaking the mountains had gradually disappeared in his ears.

Xuanyuan Shao held a big knife in his hand, followed by Dingwu's side, behind him, hundreds of guards and horsemen were like ghosts in the night, not far away, not far from Xuanyuan Shao's side, there were several strangers wearing gray robes, these people's gray robes not only covered the whole body, but even the head was covered by a cloak, one of them had a white beard, and it was suddenly Xuanzhen Daozong.

The barbarian army broke the city, and Dingwu didn't think about evacuating, but when he saw Chu Huan's Northwest Army suddenly appear under the city, he knew that he had to go.

He could not abandon the city under the offensive of the barbarian army, but in the face of the Northwest Army, he still chose to break through in order to make a comeback.

At this moment, Ding Wu also had a lot of admiration for Chu Huan in his heart, although it was easy to sit back and enjoy it, but it was not easy to operate.

No matter whether the Northwest Iron Cavalry comes too early or too late, it will not pick the fruit so easily, and Chu Huan's appearance is just right.

Dingwu knew very well that the Northwest Army raided the flank, the barbarian army would definitely not be able to hold on, the victory and defeat had been divided, he was never willing to become Chu Huan's prisoner, and he didn't even think about dying under Chu Huan's knife.

The entry of the Northwest Army into the city could at least ensure that the people of Wuping Mansion City would not be slaughtered.

Wuping Mansion City is still in chaos now, and Dingwu is also confident that Chu Huan will not immediately send pursuers to chase after him in this situation, under the escort of hundreds of elite cavalry, everyone will not stop, until dawn, it is nearly a hundred miles away from Wuping Mansion City.

Although the Guards were brave and good at fighting, they were fighting for days, and they were all tired at this time.

After passing through a frozen river, Dingwu finally slowed down his horse's speed, and Xuanyuan Shao had already followed at this time, and said respectfully: "Shengshang, the Northwest Army should not chase after you, does Shengshang want to rest for a while?" ”

Dingwu reined in his horse, frowned and pondered for a moment, and finally asked, "Xuanyuan, where are you going to let me go?" ”

Xuanyuan Shao immediately said: "Saint, we can also go to Hujin, there are many mountains in Hujin, and the geographical environment is very precipitous, we can go to Hujin to rest first." Mei Long still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and he should be able to support all the dangers in Hujin. The minister is already preparing to send people to the front line of Yanshan to inform General Wen and let them retreat to Hujin! ”

Dingwu smiled indifferently, "It turns out that I only have Hujin to go to now." ”

Hujin Province is the smallest of the sixteen provinces of the Great Qin Empire, and it is also the most barren one in the Guannai area, under the jurisdiction of two states, the geographical conditions are quite harsh, the land is thin and sparsely populated, and the grain has always relied on Hebei Province for supply.

The south of Hujin Road is the territory of Qingtianwang in Hebei Province, although Xuanyuan Shao said that he could temporarily retreat to Hujin, but since then, there is Qingtianwang in the south of Hujin, and Chu Huan in the north.

Xuanyuan Shao saw that Dingwu's face was tired, and immediately ordered the cavalry to rest for the time being.

Before the barbarian army launched the last offensive, Xuanyuan Shao had already expected that the city would be difficult to hold, and Dingwu was determined to fight with the barbarian army to the end, but Xuanyuan Shao had naturally secretly prepared for a long time.

Not only did he prepare two hundred brave and warlike guards to stand by in the city, but he also informed the Xuanzhen Dao Sect that once the city was broken, he would protect Dingwu to break out of the city.

The Xuanzhen Dao Sect and several of its own cronies and apprentices were already waiting in the city to receive them.

When the Northwest Army arrived, seeing that the general trend had gone, Xuanyuan Shao knelt on the ground and prayed for Dingwu to break through, and Dingwu finally followed Xuanyuan Shao to join the soldiers and horses prepared in the city, and then broke out from the southern city.

The light of dawn shines between the vast heaven and earth, gray and white, and it looks vast and empty.

The Guards were well-trained, and although they were on the road to which they fled, they were all disciplined, and after dismounting, they each took dry food and horse feed, fed the horses first, and then ate dry food, and sat on the snow, and did not think it was bitter.

Dingwu also walked to a nearby small slope and was about to sit down, but Xuanyuan Shao had already cut a cloth towel from his body and asked to put it on the ground, but Dingwu smiled and waved his hand, and sat down on the snow, at this time Xuanzhen Daozong also walked over, Dingwu said with a smile: "When I was young, I marched and marched, and it was common to sleep in the open, Xuanyuan, Daozong, I have never eaten with you, take this opportunity, let's sit together." ”

Xuanyuan Shao took the dry food, took a piece of cake and sent it to Dingwu, Dingwu stretched out his hand to take it, Xuanyuan Shao smiled bitterly: "Shengshang, you can only bring some dry food, you!" ”

"Xuanyuan, don't say these words." Dingwu laughed and said, "At this time, I still have you by my side to eat, and I am already content." He picked up the flatbread, opened his mouth and took a big bite, but he ate it with relish.

Xuanzhen Dao Sect also took the cake, but he didn't seem to have the heart to eat, he groaned slightly, and finally said, "Is the Holy Lord ready to withdraw to Hujin?" ”

"That's what Regulus meant." Ding Wu said with a smile: "What good advice does the Dao Sect have?" ”

"Retreating to Hujin is also the best choice at the moment." Xuanzhen Daozong said: "Although Chu Huan occupies Hexi, in the opinion of the poor road, the Liaodong army will soon be killed in Hexi." ”

Xuanyuan Shao nodded and said: "General Wen's logistics supply is not enough, I'm afraid that the army has been withdrawn now, Shengshang, the minister immediately sent people to Yanshan, General Wen still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands!" ”

Before he finished speaking, Dingwu had already said: "The news over there, we have never been clear, Wen Pu still has tens of thousands of barbarian horsemen, but he doesn't know how to deal with it, Xuan Ping controls the Liaodong Army, Wen Pu can't hold on, and it is also a wise choice to send someone to let him withdraw the army." ”

"If after retreating to Hujin, the Liaodong Army will attack Hexi, and it will inevitably compete with Chu Huan." Xuanzhen Dao Sect said: "The Holy Lord can watch these two people fight to the death." ”

Ding Wu smiled indifferently, took a bite of the cake, and finally sighed: "Hexi has been lost, Hujin is thin and sparsely populated, it is difficult to do anything, and the Qingtian King of Hebei is eyeing Hujin, and it is almost impossible to make a comeback based on Hujin." ”

Xuanzhen Dao Sect lowered his voice and said: "If the Holy Lord wants to revive Great Qin, it is not that there is no way, at least there is one last way to try." ”

"Oh?" Dingwu asked, "What method?" ”

"Six dragons gather troops, Bodhisattva open the door!" Xuanzhen Dao Sect said slowly: "As soon as the divine soldiers come out, the heavens and the earth will break their souls!" ”

Xuanyuan Shao's eyes also lit up, and he said softly: "Yes, Shengshang, my grandfather once said that as long as you get six dragon relics and go to the Buddha cave, you can get the ancient divine soldiers, that kind of power is invincible in the world, enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, if we get the help of the ancient divine soldiers and restore Great Qin, it will definitely be just around the corner." ”

Although Dingwu was defeated and fled, there was no trace of chagrin and grief on his face at this moment, and his whole person seemed to be much more relaxed than in the city of Wuping Mansion.

"Daozong, I still remember that you told me not long ago about the Tianluo Earth Net Project that you have been working on." Dingwu said softly: "There are a total of three people who planned the plan of the Tianluo Net, I am not wrong, right?" ”

Xuanzhen Dao Sect was held on the head by the cloak, his expression was calm, and he nodded: "The Holy Lord is not wrong. The Holy King of the Heart Sect came to the east, and the Duke of Yi Guo learned about the secret of the great world from the mouths of the disciples of the captured Heart Sect, and it was from that time that the Duke of Yi Guo came to us and began to plan the net of heaven and earth to solve this crisis. ”

Ding Wu said slowly: "Except for Yiguo Gong and you, no one seems to have thought of the rest of them. He muttered to himself: "Feng Hanxiao is not dead, and a few people can think of it." ”

Xuanzhen Dao Sect said: "Only by deceiving the people of the world can we deceive the Great Heart Sect, Feng Hanxiao is the most critical person in the Tianluo Net plan, and it is also our last weapon." ”

"Wind chill laughs!" Dingwu sighed: "Yes, he has indeed deceived the people of the world, even the first emperor and I have been kept in the dark by him." There was a hint of coldness in his eyes: "I'm very strange, you planned the Tianluo Net plan back then, didn't you think about the bigger changes that would happen because of this?" If it weren't for the sudden disappearance of Feng Hanxiao, how could the Northwest Army be leaderless, and how could the Xiliang people take advantage of the weakness? ”

Xuanzhen Daozong sighed: "This may be our biggest mistake, although we also thought that once the wind and cold smile disappeared, the Xiliang people might be ready to move, but we didn't expect that the Xiliang people really sent 100,000 troops to the northwest, let alone that the 100,000 northwest army could not resist the Xiliang people." ”

"Daozong and Yiguo Gong are not on the front line, and it is understandable that they don't know the hidden dangers, but Feng Hanxiao knows the situation of the Northwest Army well, doesn't he know that once the Northwest Army is leaderless, there will be partisan disputes!" Dingwu said: "Leaving behind the 100,000 Northwest Army and millions of Northwest Li people, it is also chic to laugh at the wind and cold." ”

Xuanzhen Dao Sect said: "Back then, I also discussed this matter, Feng Hanxiao concluded that the Xiliang people could not attack the Guannei, he was the general of the Northwest, since he said so, why did the poor Dao work naturally has nothing to say." Moreover, the threat of the Great Heart Sect is also very severe, the Holy Lord has already seen the martial arts cultivation of the disciples of the Heart Sect with his own eyes, and the Four Heavenly Kings are also powerful people who are in charge of their own affairs, if they can't get rid of this force, it will definitely cause a catastrophe. ”

"The attack on Changtian Valley is naturally a good show performed by you." Dingwu frowned and said: "It's to make everyone in the world think that Feng Hanxiao was killed." ”

"We've done a lot of planning." Xuanzhen Dao Sect said: "Feng Hanxiao was not successful in martial arts at that time, once the disciples of the Great Heart Sect came to the Qin State, the first person to deal with was him, with the ability of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heart Sect, it was not difficult to sneak into the northwest camp and assassinate Feng Hanxiao." ”

Dingwu smiled: "I don't understand now, Feng Hanxiao and you set such a strategy back then, was it to destroy the Great Heart Sect, or to avoid disasters?" ”

Xuanzhen Dao Sect hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Holy Lord, Poor Dao is still convinced that there is only Feng Hanxiao who has the ability to get rid of the four heavenly kings of the Heart Sect. Feng Hanxiao is not only proficient in the army, but also has an incomparable martial arts talent! ”

"Oh?" Ding Wu said with a smile: "It seems that the Dao Sect admires Feng Hanxiao very much. Wei Yi groaned, and then said: "Back then, the three of you all knew about the battle of Changtian Valley, but the Thirteen Taibao under Qinglong Qianhu and Feng Hanxiao, including Chu Huan, knew nothing. ”

"Qinglong is under the command of the Duke of Yiguo, and the Duke of Yiguo sent him to contact the people of Xiliang to set up an ambush in Changtian Valley to attack Feng Hanxiao, Poor Dao thought that Qinglong should have been very confused at that time, but he did not disobey." Xuanzhen Taoist said: "Let the Xiliang people get involved, but in order to be more trustworthy, there are often Xiliang's rangers cruising outside the Northwest Pass, if the wind and cold smile is out of the customs inspection, just happened to be ambushed by the Xiliang people, naturally it can also be trusted by people." ”

Dingwu said: "It is indeed a good way, so that the hat that kills Feng Hanxiao can be worn on the heads of the Xiliang people." After a pause, he said: "Feng Hanxiao is ruthless in order to create the illusion of being killed, but he doesn't care about the life of the Thirteenth Taibao at all. ”

"If you want to do great things, you can't be kind to a woman." Xuanzhen Dao Sect said: "Feng Hanxiao contained the Thirteen Taibao, originally to let them sacrifice one day. Everyone thought that Feng Hanxiao had the intention of cultivating thirteen guards, but the real purpose was to use these people to prove his death, and even the thirteen Taibao, who were the most cronies, were all wiped out, so naturally no one could doubt that Feng Hanxiao was still alive. ”

"Under Changtian Valley, what happened to the thirteen corpses?" Dingwu asked.

"It was supposed to be fourteen corpses, but the saint knew that Chu Huan escaped death and escaped a catastrophe." Xuanzhen Daozong said: "Among the thirteen corpses, twelve of them are the corpses of the other twelve Taibao, they are genuine, only the corpse of Feng Hanxiao has been prepared for a long time, and it is just a pretended corpse." It is not difficult to find a corpse that resembles Feng Hanxiao, whether it is a reminder outline or other places, the corpse is ninety percent similar to Feng Hanxiao, plus the corpse is already broken bones, it is easy to confuse the real with the fake. ”

"I see." Dingwu nodded slightly.

"Afterwards, these corpses were quickly handed over to the hands of the Shenyi Guard, according to the plan agreed in advance, the Duke of Yi Guo asked the Shenyi Guard to get these corpses in the shortest possible time and then quickly dispose of them, so that even the corpse capital can no longer be seen, who can doubt the death of Feng Hanxiao?" Xuanzhen Dao Sect said softly: "From then on, the Northwest General Feng Hanxiao disappeared from this world, and the last weapon in the net of heaven and earth quietly appeared in this world. ”

"Hidden Kill!" Dingwu chuckled: "No wonder Chu Huan talked about this in the Heavenly Dao Palace, before the incident, Feng Hanxiao once wrote the word 'hidden killing' on the paper, which happened to be seen by Chu Huan, at that time he didn't know what it meant, and I only now understand that the so-called 'hidden killing' is hidden killing!" After a pause, he asked, "Where is that Feng Hanxiao now?" Since he is the last weapon of the Heaven and Earth Net, I really want to know if it is time for him to make a move. ”

The Xuanzhen Dao Sect was silent for a moment, and finally sighed lightly: "Back to the Holy Lord, Feng Hanxiao is missing!" ”
